Thank you so much for this full demonstration video, i couldnt make my mind up between getting one of these and a freedom 2 berth caravan, my mind is now made up as i always choose the path of least resistance
Wow!!! We need this here in the USA! Love the fabric that does not build up condensation and that it can be folded up even when wet...plus the insulating factor for heat or cold. BRILLIANT.
@Kelly Kelly - we have this one - a bit older from the early 90's - so it's in light blue but the interior is the same as it was reupholstered by Riva before we bought it. I can confirm that you really can pack them away wet and then use them again without worry. Two years ago we packed up in a massive storm at Sidmouth folk week and didn't even check it until the following September (13 months later) when we arrived at Dartmoor to camp - everything was fine and Dandy - lol - no mould, no damp, all of our bedding was fine too - they are amazing.
It is a shame that these are no longer made or indeed, in business. They seemed to have gotten a lot of things right. Bed supports that slide out and easily adjust to the appropriate height for the terrain, hard sided walls on the gable ends and sides, proper door and their thermo-bond technology that indeed, seemed to have lived up to its name. These should be resurrected with a more modern look and perhaps an easier set-up for the kitchen. Perhaps an off-road version (as Opus Campers have done) would boost sales also.
Reckon with all that's happened recently, it won't be long before dandy folding campers will be back under manufacture 👍😊 that would be great. We have one from the seventies, and love it 👍😊
I have had many Dandys over many years , they were great for family holidays when money was tight , and with practice putting them up , and folding them away is easy , ...do not put away wet , or dry as soon as possible, one negative , the material that it is made from was much better in the earlier models, ( the brown and light blue ones )the later dark blue material does not seem to be as good as the earlier material
I wish they had these r.v. tents in the U.S.A.. I live in Virginia, U S.A.. This would be pulled by my Subaru Impreza with little problems, but still able too. Do you have a sales representative in the U.S.? All we have is hard side folding campers. There are some tent campers here, but not as simple and light as yours.
@@NeilTaylor If taking this over to Norway,what will that cost in toll aso ? I need one like this! I am pretty shore that if English people went over to Scandinavia and sold it here,you would get a much better price too ;)

How much assembly are you willing to do to make the end product worthwhile. If you feel that your time is totally committed to assembling and disassembling a camper - is it worth it? When I get to a camping site, I want to spend a very limited amount of time assembling my camper. It kind of takes the joy out of camping.
i wonder how all that aluminum held up under regular use. it looks really fragile. like idk if those little tiny poles that are supposed to hold up the beds would hold up with more than a child on them. that place to sit won't hold up with an adult leaning against it. also why do you have to basically build the hole thing inside and out once you get there. love the material innovation but the rest seems to have taken a few steps backwards! even for 2011!
I'm curious if you can keep these warmer inside than a normal tent, because of how many wood walls you have? Does anyone have input on this, during cold performance? Thanks.
@@NeilTaylor thank you for the reply! Happy Camping! I also like that these can be pulled by smaller cars because, light weight. The big trailers you can't do unless you have an expensive truck.
As we have one I can dispute this completely. They are very strong and only take 10 mins to set up (faster than an average tent). Thet are also big once set up, 2 double beds, 2 seats & a table, cooker & sink.
@@grandma_1887 Again absolutely not. They are PVC double insulated so completely windproof & rainproof. All joints to body are velcro's where thay are not tucked under with the elastic straps. I've know these in 70mph winds and they coped well.
It's nice that the roof is up during assembly, but what about the sides? I've had to put up/take down tents and tent trailers in the pouring rain with strong winds. Once that plywood/fibreboard gets wet, it'll start to mold/rot.

come to assemble the designer what a nightmare .it did not put me off though after taking 3 hours to put up ..lol the camper about 20 mins. awning 2 hrs what a pain to put that up we are keeping the awning to one side we will get an acrylic awning easy to put up.. taking it down was easy the window all snapped and fell on floor the screws fell out because i forgot to remove cupboard below sink the folding draw pressed the wall on it and snap but fixed it now cant wait for the next trip might be fri sorry people it was just a blip with my no knowledge to this but better than trailer tent any day
@@NeilTaylor Not in the UK you cant', it's too wide, long and heavy. the maximum width of a motorcycle trailer here is 1m, and the maximum weight is 250kg, or 2/3 the weight of the bike, whichever is the lower. Also, the maximum length is 2.5m measured from the rear axle of the bike. I would love too see something like this for a bike. For most bikes, even my BMW R1200RT, it would need to be no more than 180kg.

Sadly new ones are no longer made so the only way you could get one, would be to do as an import. They are cracking units to own.

Cool design. My spike tent still has more space though and probably a fraction of the price.
Needs a place to hold a propane tank for stove and a tank for water if no hook up, also need pads for legs
The front does have a locker for the gas bottle.

so 10 mins is too much time out of your life?
I agree. But look at the tow vehicle they are using. Something like this is very lightweight.
Nice!

Could u send me info..and if one can order to U.S .and prices..ty

Mines been great in 70 mph winds and has easily slept me, my wife and two kids.
May look flimsy but is actually very well built

Yes, they are winterised

excilent.nice.
this camper is a lot of work also looks quite fragile I prefer the pop-up type campers in the USA
Agreed. Drop the supports, crank up the roof and pull out the slides.
and looks like a lot of wind can leak through it. I don’t think is very good for a rainy day.
Me too👍

I would like to have this in Canada
How much can you pay for this ?
@@inderjeetsingh7458 I've bought a travel trailer since commenting. I'm not looking for another trailer.
By the time you get it assembled, it's time to go home.
Not really, 10 minutes to set up, very easy, very simple, very very quick.
It's nice that the roof is up during assembly, but what about the sides?
I've had to put up/take down tents and tent trailers in the pouring rain with strong winds. Once that plywood/fibreboard gets wet, it'll start to mold/rot.
The side walls are solid with a PVC covering so never rot, hence why you find Dandys from the 70s/80s still going.
Wow very nice
Hm is the cost of that tent
I like it very much
These can now only be purchased pre loved.
@@NeilTaylor i want to avail that tent i am here in the Philippines
Dónde puedo comprar ese camper? ¿cuál es su precio??
Est elle vendue en France et à quel prix ?
I thought they had underfloor heating?
Not all
СУПЕР
Could I have one delivered to Texas?
Cucker Gnarlson or California lol
No Brasil é claro
Is this company still on market?
I‘m searching such kind of trailer for my electric car
Have a look at www.rivadandysales.co.uk/
By the time you get that unfolded your vacation will be over. I live in Florida. Down here you would probably have a heat stroke first.
Really? they only take 15 minutes to put up.
What a bloody rave .
Price of this tent in Indian rupee ?could you please inform me from where I can buy it?
They are no longer made.
Muito massa o valor dela
Eu quero onde compro?
Need them in canada and can one person assemble the camper
yes one person can put up a dandy.

they are well strong enough to carry weight the video does not do the build quality justice they have been around a long time

Are these for sale in Australia ?
Sadly, no
En dónde lo venden ?
Is this camper available in Sooyth Africa?
Sadly these are now no longer made.
How is it able to be packed up wet and not be dried out ... mildew et al?
It is made from PVC so does not get mildew or rot.
Some assembly required.
Bello
I rather have a bathroom than a kitchen ette

A cena?
So why would you leave home, and go cook, and clean in a pop up?
Cos that is why you go camping...
camping is practice for homelessness.

It really is 15 minutes to put and take down once you have mastered it.
yes mate we watch vid bit by bit to take down and put up .its a good job i was in the scouts for getting an award in tying knots lol
